30-day Giving Challenge

While roaming the blogosphere I stumbled on a blog that just blew me away with it’s message and a challenge – so much so that I am not only participating in the challenge, but am hoping that you will take part in the challenge as well. Of course, in typical ARW style I can’t just do the challenge [...]

Halloween, Thanksgiving, ATC, and Christmas – OH MY!!

You know that feeling you get as you go UP a roller coaster? It’s a combination of fear and excitement where time seems to slow down and speed up at the same time and you know what’s coming but you also don’t want it to come, and all you can do is brace for it and [...]

army wives: trevor “the recruiter” storyline

What did you think about the show?
The jury is still out for me (I have even watched it twice) - and I’m still trying to decide how I feel about the new storyline, especially after seeing the “sneak preview” of next weeks episode. I don’t usually blog about Army Wives because there are a thousand and [...]

I’m on MYSPACE!

Yep! I am now on myspace as well! Actually, I already had a private account on myspace – but decided I needed another one for this site. I’m not too big into facebook – the only reason I have a facebook account is because I had my (gulp) 10 year high school reunion coming up [...]

Well, we’re about halfway there – I just really, really need to stop getting ideas! LOL!! So far I have enough lined up for 3 shows – our inaugural show, 1 regular show, and one special edition show from a future soldier event. I’m also organizing a giveaway for our first show – I don’t [...]

*New* Active Duty Dental Program

Well – there is now a new program to help our beloved soldiers get better access to dental care. I’m not saying that the on-post dentists are bad – but it can be a huge pain for recruiters that are a good distance away from an MTF to get access to dental care while balancing [...]

Military Spouse Career Advancement Account – also known as MyCAA.
Finally a program that address the needs of spouse education and the impact that moving around has on spouse career development. Granted, some of us are pretty lucky when we go post-to-post and finding a job isn’t that difficult, especially if you have a trade or [...]
